A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

5.0

I put off reading this book for so long because the language intimidated me, and honestly I'm an idiot for doing so. This book is SO GOOD. It took a while for my reading experience to feel "fun" because I was having to constantly reference the Nadsat dictionary, but after about 50 pages I was fluent and hooked! The fact that you are able to oscillate between loathing Alex one moment, then feeling utter sympathy for him the next, is truly a literary feat. I will be thinking about this book for a long time.
